Not-quite-perfect gentleman. Overeducated, underutilized. Former lawyer (all the jokes are true!), former professional choirboy (literal AND figurative). Easygoing but entertaining. True-blue but truthful. Realistic but optimistic. Strong enough for a man but made for a woman.

Not enough. Perhaps you are the sherpa who will climb new mountains with me. (Tenzing Norgay was at least as estimable as Edmund Hillary - and had saved Hillary's life.) In the meantime, I am reading the Daoist classics (they say Thoreau never read them, which scores one point for reincarnation).

Wordplay, trivia, running (but let's just say it's been too long since my last marathon), chess, singing, listening, solving other people's problems, speaking with animals (you should hear what they say about us!)

Blue eyes and one-liners

A Confederacy of Dunces, The Shawshank Redemption, The Daily Show, classic alternative (I'm listening to the MC cable channel right now - The Clash!), cherries
Second-favorites: Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, The Philadelphia Story, The Rachel Maddow Show, 19th-Century Romantic, Eggplant Parmesan
(By the way, "Grease" could fit in every category [yes, there's a novelization based on the movie based on the musical, and a UK casting reality show].)
